Africana DHi is a three week online workshop to be held from May 28- June 11, 2019 in association with the Center for Digital Humanities at the University of Arizona. During the DHi, which is supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities Institutes in Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities grant and the CUNY Graduate Center Digital Humanities Research Initiative, participants will explore interdisciplinary, digital humanities research and teaching with DH scholars, develop core computational research skills through online workshops, and begin developing their own digital humanities projects. When participants complete the workshop they will become part of a growing network of distributed digital humanities research institutes, and their reflections will inform the publication of the Spring 2020 Special Issue of Fire!!!, the peer-reviewed digital journal for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). Short courses—or “bootcamps”—that last anywhere from one day to two months are an increasingly popular way to offer intensive training in digital tools and skills over a short period of time; however, these courses are resource-intensive to run, require travel and financial support, and are rarely focused on Africana-centered approaches to the digital humanities. Africana DHi joins the growing list of conferences and summer bootcamps designed specifically for teaching methods and digital tools for the study of African Diaspora histories, cultures, and people. We seek participants who are post-secondary researchers, professors, independent scholars, library or museum professionals. Applications that propose a specific project will receive first consideration. The workshop will include lessons and materials available on this website, but we will also rely upon each other to share information, skills and knowledge. Applying Applications must be received by April 26, 2019. Applicants will be informed of their acceptance by May 6, 2019. More information and application materials can be found here:http:/africanadhi.com<https://africanadhi.com/> or by contacting the Institute Organizer, Erika Gault at support@africanadhi.com The Institute is supported by the Center for Digital Humanities at the University of Arizona, the Africana Studies Program in the College of Humanities at the University of Arizona, the Digital Humanities Research Initiative, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
